Solenoid failure RXV
A couple of weeks ago, my son was driving my 2015 EZGO RXV and it completely locked up. It would not even move in tow mode. Took it to a local shop and they said the Solenoid was out. He put on another 36v solenoid because that was stock. Yesterday I took the cart off the charger and cart wouldn't move. I had ordered a 48v solenoid to put on the cart anyway, so I changed it out and all worked fine.
My question, what would cause two solenoids to fail in a few weeks? Was it just that it was a 36 volt one? My cart is all stock freedom mode but does have larger tires. |

Re: Solenoid failure RXV
The controllers prior to mid-2014 had a main coil (solenoid) PWM value of 75% (36 VDC).
That includes controllers 1206AC-5201, 1206AC-5202, 1206AC-5203, and 1206AC-5350. The controllers post mid-2014 had a main coil (solenoid) PWM value of 100% (48 VDC). That includes controllers 1206AC-5211, 1206AC-5212, 1206AC-5213,1206AC-5231, 1206AC-5233, and 1206AC-5360. Your controller probably is calling for a 48v solenoid. |

Re: Solenoid failure RXV
The RXV's have been locking up a lot it seems like with all the post about them lately. Mine locked up a couple times a few weeks ago.

What Solenoid do you recommend? Would you recommend going to the 48v regardless of which controller? |

The Trombetta solenoid works good with these controllers |
